We had a very pleasant landing experience today at the Sarnia Blue Water Bridge CBSA Office. The Immigration Officer had a much appreciated dry sense of humour and was very pleasant and helpful. The entire process took about 30 minutes. She kept the original B4 and B4A forms and made copies for us. We asked the question about traveling back into the US before the PR card arrives and we were told it was okay to do that on land but not by air until the PR card has arrived. You just need to have the signed COPR document to cross on land. We now start the journey towards citizenship.

I would like to thank all the people on this forum for all the help, advice, humour and positive encouragement. This is a grinding process and keeping a positive outlook during it would not be possible without the support of the people on here. I hope and pray that all of you still awaiting your application decisions get the results that you are seeking and that you appreciate that you are living in the best country in the world. I know I am

Welcome to the August batch mates :)

Are you on the spreadsheet? If not ask to be added as it will give you good timeline information.

Hope you get your COPR soon :)

Here is a link to a topic about many possible interview questions. Also to review any red flags u have and be ready to address them. Anything written in the application is fair game.
